What does the 3 in 3.62 stand for?

Answer 1

Well, darling, the 3 in 3.62 stands for the hundreds place. In a decimal number like 3.62, each digit's position represents a power of 10. So, from left to right, you've got the tens place, the ones place, and then the hundreds place where that sassy little 3 is hanging out.

Answer 2

In the number 3.62, the 3 represents the whole number part of the decimal. The digit to the right of the decimal point (in this case, 6) represents the tenths place, and the digit to the right of that (in this case, 2) represents the hundredths place. Each digit's position to the right of the decimal point indicates a power of 10 by which it is multiplied.

Answer 3

3 ones.
